Moderation

January was overall a quiet month considering the holiday season that usually tends to bring activity down the first two weeks. As expected on that period, conversations were mostly friendly and constructive. Nonetheless, a single episode on Jan 27th led to some displinary actions having to be made. Also, the moderation role just kicked off a transition process on which the community will decide on the path of how to renew the role.

  • Number of time-outs applied: 3
  • Number of bans applied: 3

By changing our DMs onboarding strategy due to security concerns, we managed to onboard 23 users during January in our #Welcome channel, in order to keep comms public and avoid any potential misthought about scam or impersonation. This has had a positive impact in our bi-weekly onboarding calls were some of those new members got a chance to receive a first glimpse of what our DAO is about.

Cybersecurity

The #cybersecurity-awareness channel has been actively updating the community about various cyber and social engineering attacks. Additionally, the FS has developed and shared a Web3 security awareness and information guide with a poster that includes best practices for securing digital assets, helping users to safeguard themselves against such attacks and scams.

Next steps

GENERAL

  • Following the progression of the DAOā€™s virtual Headquarters building, continue to ā€˜negotiateā€™ with Foundation to ensure a space with a good and representative location in Genesis City and track the progress of the lease agreement.
  • Initiate the process for transferring moderation responsibilities to another team or group of individuals by the end of this grant term.
  • Continue with the development of the ā€œFacilitation Squadā€ landing page.

OPS: Our main focus will be on continue to work with DAO-Foundation Synergy follow-ups (transparency, better communication, technical liaison, etc). Will also continue to focus on working group facilitation and the creation of new synchronous instances for debating proposals, maintaining the Legislative Tracker, hosting onboarding sessions, facilitating the 4th RFI round, and populating and improving the ā€œFacilitation Cornerā€ workspace with new content.

MODERATION: Cotinue to coordinate the process for moderation handover.

COMMS: Will continue to build out the Brick by Brick session on Discord. Focus with these session will be to keep building out educational community events for creators and builders. There is one lined up for next month is Isa going over emotes 2.0. Also started planning the initial structure for the Community Content Creators (C3) program (more details will be shared next month). Primary focus will remain on posting content across Twitter and YouTube.
